Rand McNally intelliRoute TND 500

It seems they didn't connect the ramp back to the highway at the inspection station at the top of the mountain in TN on I-24. It's telling me to make a U turn and go west on the eastbound side of the interstate back to the last exit to turn around and go east again. I don't think I'll try that.

It also thinks the speed limit is 45mph on the interstate all the way past the Georgia border.

 

Mine has done this in a few places, cannot remember exactly where though. I know it did in CT, one more reason not to go there.
Strange things happen there.

 

I reported this same thing 2 weeks ago. It started lagging. I was stopped and at my destination and it told me I still had 2 turns to make...within about 3mins of shutting down, it caught up and told me I had reached my destination.

Mark said that the next time I notice this lagging, that I should look at the tab that shows GPS data (satellites seen/used).

..I feel better knowing it isnt just my unit although I wonder what causes this?...I have not seen it do that since then, but the test might be running the same route again.. (Milwaukee to/from Chicago)

I did the exact same route down and back. On the way down, it worked perfectly. The way back it lagged...The unit was power cycled once I got down to Chicago and turned on as I left.

 

Version 1472 has been released. Once you are done updating you can click on the tab to view release notes.

Thanks,

Cool, cant wait to get another load and checkout the new features. Thanks for your help Mark.

 

Amen to that! If I ever have to go back to CT it will be too soon

 

This may have already been suggested, if so disregard. How about an option to enter the trucks maximum governed speed so that arrival time will be more accurate? When the speed limit is 70 and I'm practically stopped at 60, it makes quite a difference on a long trip.

Thanks

 

RM is currently looking at different ways to allow you to do this. I have not seen the spec'd version yet, but idea's such as yourself's help RM know which direction to go in this feature.

Thanks,

RM has seen a breakthrough in this issue, The engineers found some data that was incorrect. The Beta Testers are testing this fix.

Thanks,
Mark

 

Mark does this mean we should wait before we update to 1472?
